Hi ShaunJ,
This extra info is very welcome. I'm not surprised George wasn't in Howard Road in 1911 as the census shows him with his parents and siblings living in Walthamstow, unfortunately the transcript I've seen doesn't state which road! George's occupation is given as Butcher as is that of his sister Grace - I wonder if there really were lady butchers or did the transcriber confuse two lines of information?
I wonder if George junior really was in Howard Road in 1920 as, according to family legend, he'd vanished by then! Possibly the family were keeping the shop going or perhaps a new owner had kept the old name -cheaper than having the lettering re-done.
The Okills were my daughter-in-law's father's maternal ancestors and, as he's an only child, with not many family memories to draw on so I'm very grateful for your help, thank you.
